Problem Details: I played osu yesterday and everything was going fine, but when I went on osu today, my skins were deleted and so were 400+ of my beatmaps. I haven't deleted anything from osu since last month, no one else uses my computer, and theres no viruses on my computer. Also is there a way to recover all of the deleted beatmaps? Send help plz.

osu! version: 20170222.3 (latest)

Update: I was looking through the logs and in one of them this was there:

Were my maps deleted because of the cleanup? And why was there a cleanup in the first place? I didn't ask for one.

Sounds like you might be running osu! from a different installation. Search your PC for osu!.exe and see if you have multiple copies installed.

Have you checked your Recycle Bin to see if they are there? (for some reason or another.)

Are the files actually gone from your folder, or just the game? Also, your game wouldn't happen to be installed in a /temp/ directory would it? Have any programs set to "clean" or remove files?

A temp directory is a temporary directory, a place were temporary files go. And somehow sometimes people end up with their game in one (which is obviously not right) Just wanted you to check as it does happen. But it's odd for files to randomly be deleted. Especially if it's only a select few, normally it's all or none.
